They're a schooling fish and I think we could actually keep like 7 of them but instead thinking 5 and 2 cardinals. The only club meeting I was ever at we had some expert in that talked about the cardinals - was very cool. No anthias here. The more we read about them the more we're going to...

I think we finalized our list, including the order. Think this is too much fish for a 120 with a 40 sump? Does the order make sense? 1 Pinkbar Goby (in there now) 2 Ocellaris Clownfish 1 Yellow Tang 5 Blue Green Chromis 2 Cardinals 1 Orange Hooded Wrasse 1 Yellow Coris Wrasse Will also...

How would these work on a 120, 48x24x24 mostly LPS tank but maybe a few acros. Would I need more than 2?

That's right. My thought was to put it between my return pump and the main aquarium. One of the reasons is I have a T between my existing check valve and main tank because that's where my mixed water from the basement pumps into. This way the new water is going into the tank instead of the...

Oh sheesh, not sure why I never realized that. Thanks that makes sense.

Sorry to sound stupid but when you say raise above the waterline, what do you mean? You don't mean have my 4 returns above the waterline do you?

I have a check valve just upline from my return pump, but it's shot and no longer functioning (think they have springs in them so maybe it's worn out). Do most of you use check valves or just regular ball valves? Again, this is between the return pump to the main display tank so that in case...

Well bad leads to good. Since I'd taken out all of the rock, and most of the water, so that I could remove the 5 fish I had. With moving everything around, I'd initiated a mini cycle. Amonia and Nitrate spike, but this morning Amonia was down to 0. So I'm getting there. Going to go with a...

Anthias look great, but I know I'm not up for feeding them 3x a day. So I'm looking for other options of schooling fish. Granted there won't be any predators in the 120g, but I'm looking at other options. Here's the stocking plan as of now: 2 ocellaris or maybe percula if I can't find the...

uhhhhhhhh. hmm, no. Didn't know they had frequent sales. That's ok it was marked down and I need one so.

Thanks everyone....ordered the magnus 5 Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

This is for a 120g. Looking for an in-sump skimmer. Sump is only 11" front to back and water level is normally 8.5-10" deep. I need something easy to use, but most importantly, I hate noise. So I want it to be quiet if possible. Was looking at reef octopus but they have so many.... Will...

Thanks will check it out. Sump usually runs between 8.5-10". Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to help. I have a 120 with a 40g sump. I have an empty fuge behind the sump (empty because it cracked a few years ago), but I think I'd prefer to keep it in the sump. I feel stupid for saying this but didn't even know they made external ones. I'd consider my plan a...

Thanks. Yeah, I'm thinking about a skimmer. So many choices though and really no idea where to start.

Haven't had much time over the last few days due to my dad's failing health, but here is the 120 as of now. Gorgonian doing well. Have a small 3 head Duncan in there, 2 trumpets (I have them too high up I think) and a torch all are getting acclimated. There's a dotted goby in there and two...

I still hate rockscaping lol.

Some of you know, from reading the fish forum, that I took out my 5 fish, Vlamingi Tang, Bird Wrasse, Dogface Puffer, Ocellaris, and Junior Emporata. Tank is a 120 and after moping for several years after Sandy, I want to go back to reef. To get the fish out, I had to take out all of the rock...

I just leave 1g jugs filled with RODI next to the tank and premeasured food. Works well.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I took the afternoon off so I can take my son to the doc but here's what I've done in the last 30 mins. Took 2 plastic totes, lined with contractor bags, and took out as much rock as I could see. Shook off each rock as I took it out then placed into a tote...
